Abstract:
A method and a network node device for performing the method for Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) error location detection in a first network node configured for cut-through switching. The method comprises detecting a CRC error in a first frame received from a source network node. The method further comprises adding a Medium Access Control (MAC) address of the first network node to the first frame in response to detecting the CRC error, and forwarding the first frame to a second network node.
Abstract:
It is provided a method, comprising predicting if a received coded data block can be successfully decoded by a predetermined decoder adapted to apply a predetermined decoding on the coded data block, wherein the predetermined decoder is comprised in a central device; requesting a retransmission of the coded data block to an apparatus performing the method if it is predicted that the coded data block cannot be decoded by the decoder; forwarding the coded data block and a result of the prediction to the central device without applying the predetermined decoding to the coded data block.
Abstract:
There is provided packet handling in a client node (17a) between a hub node (16a) and a radio base station (13a) in a wireless network (10a, 10b, 10c). A method performed by a client node comprises wirelessly receiving (S102) packets from a hub node (16a). The packets are received in an order and being associated with an in-sequence order. A method performed by a client node comprises detecting (S104) that at least one packet of the packets is received out of said in-sequence order, and in response thereto providing an indicator indicating the in-sequence order. A method performed by a client node comprises providing (S106) the packets and the indicator to a radio base station (13a).
Abstract:
The present invention refers to methods and network nodes transmitting data in a radio communications system. In particular, the present invention refers to a method comprising the steps of receiving a portion of a data unit; and starting a processing of the portion of the data unit prior to receiving remaining portions of the data unit, and to a network node configured for executing the method.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a frame type indicator (FTI) associated with an encoded data portion in an encoder, receiving state information regarding a current logical channel according to a controller, and determining whether to invalidate the encoded data portion if the FTI and the state information do not indicate a channel type match. In this embodiment, only if certain types of mismatches exist between FTI and state information will the data portion be invalidated.
Abstract:
A receiver which receives a stream of data packets including video data packets over a physical data link and drops data packets when an error on a physical communication layer is detected, wherein the receiver comprises a processing means, configured so that it is able to check whether the received data packet is a video packet and whether it is corrupted by an error on the physical communication layer. If this is the case, the video packet is marked as corrupted and forwarded to the network layer. There is further provided a method for processing a stream of data packets including video data packets, the method including checking for each data packet whether it is a video data packet; checking for each video data packet whether it is corrupted by an error on the physical communication layer; marking a video packet as corrupted if it is corrupted due to an error on the physical communication layer; and forwarding the marked corrupted video packet to the network layer.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus using a system level clocking scheme to remove jitter from multi-media packets distributed over an asynchronous network. The present invention overcomes the problems associated with jitter introduced in an asynchronous network by using various time stamps to synchronized a client device clock to a headend clock and to control the data flow in the client device to match the rate that the data is received by a broadband receiver coupled to the headend. The present invention allows the client device to synchronize to a selected one of a plurality of headend clock by including a clock adjustment factor along with the time stamps. The time stamps are added at the physical layer so that the time stamps correspond to the time the data packets are placed onto and received from the asynchronous network.
Abstract:
The invention is a system and method for synchronizing the transmission of compressed headers in data packets between a transmitter and a receiver having a preferred wireless application which is an improvement of RFC2508. In a system having a transmitter transmitting a plurality of packets each containing a header to a receiver, a method of synchronizing the transmission of compressed headers between the transmitter and receiver in accordance with the invention includes transmitting a current packet from the transmitter to the receiver containing information that the transmitter is prepared to send subsequently transmitted packets in which the headers therein are to be compressed in comparison to the header contained in the current packet; and transmitting from the receiver to the transmitter an acknowledgment packet that the receiver has received the current packet.
